How can BrainFakBanana hijack my computer?

BrainFakBanana plug-in cannot land on your web browser without your intervention. Therefore, people who claim that this program has entered their computer without permission asked are not right. In fact, it really asks for permission; however, it may do that in a misleading manner. Since it's mainly distributed using 'bundling' and is disclosed as a browser add-on on the freeware's installation wizard, the users who do not pay enough attention to the installation process can easily skip notifications about BrainFakBanana plug-in and allow to install it by default without even noticing it. That's how 'bundling' works. If you want to prevent BrainFakBanana redirects to suspicious websites and restore your PC's security, you will have to eliminate this application and avoid installing similar adwares in the future. For that, avoid visiting suspicious websites, installing questionable software, avoid clicking on pop-up update alerts and other questionable content. Besides, you should try checking every free program before installing it by reading its EULA and Privacy Policy.

Therefore, select this option and monitor the entire installation process with an intention to deselect such attachments as browser add-ons, plug-ins, toolbars, and extensions.
